Robert Bork Quotes

One man’s larceny is another’s just distribution of goods Picture Quote #1
The right to procreate is not guaranteed, explicitly or implicitly, by the Constitution Picture Quote #1
Modernity, the child of the Enlightenment, failed when it became apparent that the good society cannot be achieved by unaided reason Picture Quote #1
Our country is being radically altered, step by step, by Justices who are not following any law Picture Quote #1
By depriving the charged person of any defenses [the rulings] mean that sexual dalliance, however voluntarily engaged in, becomes harassment whenever an employee sees fit, after the fact, so to characterize it Picture Quote #1
[The] National Rifle Association is always arguing that the Second Amendment determines the right to bear arms. But I think it really is the people’s right to bear arms in a militia. The NRA thinks it protects their right to have Teflon-coated bullets. But that’s not the original understanding Picture Quote #1

There is no single grand strategy. Just as the New Left abandoned an overarching program and became a series of like-minded groups advancing area by area, so it must counterattacked area by area Picture Quote #1
As government regulations grow slowly, we become used to the harness. Habit is a powerful force, and we no longer feel as intensely as we once would have [the] constriction of our liberties that would have been utterly intolerable a mere half century ago Picture Quote #1
I don’t think the Constitution is studied almost anywhere, including law schools. In law schools, what they study is what the court said about the Constitution. They study the opinions. They don’t study the Constitution itself Picture Quote #1
An egalitarian educational system is necessarily opposed to meritocracy and reward for achievement. It is inevitably opposed to procedures that might reveal differing levels of achievement Picture Quote #1
I was thinking of resigning since I did not want to be perceived as a man who did the president’s bidding to save my job. I have had some time to think about it since. I think I did the right thing Picture Quote #1
Modernity, the child of the Enlightenment, failed when it became apparent that the good society cannot be achieved by unaided reason Picture Quote #1

Those who made and endorsed our Constitution knew man’s nature, and it is to their ideas, rather than to the temptations of utopia, that we must ask that our judges adhere Picture Quote #1
It is a ship with a great deal of sail but a very shallow keel Picture Quote #1
A society deadened by a smothering network of laws while finding release in moral chaos is not likely to be either happy or stable Picture Quote #1
No church that panders to the zeitgeist deserves respect, and very shortly it will not get respect, except from those who find it politically useful, and that is less respect than disguised contempt Picture Quote #1
As the courts keep pushing religion out of sight, the press either ignores it or treats it as some sort of emotional affliction. It is hardly any wonder that religion slowly loses its grip on the popular mind Picture Quote #1
There can be no doubt that the systematic hostility of the courts to religion has lowered the prestige of religion in the public mind Picture Quote #1

No activity that society thinks immoral is victimless. Knowledge that an activity is taking place is a harm to those who find it profoundly immoral Picture Quote #1
When a judge assumes the power to decide which distinctions made in a statute are legitimate and which are not, he assumes the power to disapprove of any and all legislation, because all legislation makes distinctions Picture Quote #1
Law is vulnerable to the winds of intellectual or moral fashion, which it then validates as the commands of our most basic concept Picture Quote #1
In a constitutional democracy the moral content of law must be given by the morality of the framer or legislator, never by the morality of the judge Picture Quote #1
The purpose that brought the fourteenth amendment into being was equality before the law, and equality, not separation, was written into the law Picture Quote #1
The major obstacle to a religious renewal is the intellectual classes, who are highly influential and tend to view religion as primitive superstition. They believe that science has left atheism as the only respectable intellectual stance Picture Quote #1
